Germ-line mutations of the BRCA1 and BRCA2 genes predispose women to develop cancers of the breast and ovary, but the biologic functions of these genes remains unclear. We have investigated the responses of the BRCA1 and BRCA2 gene products to cytotoxic agents in 3 human ovarian cancer cell lines: S
We found that over-expression of PU.1, a member of the ets family of transcription factors, induces apoptotic cell death along with differentiation of DMSO stimulation in murine erythroleukemia (MEL) cells. To elucidate the molecular mechanisms of apoptosis, cell-cycle distribution and expression of
The expression and functionality of the Fas receptor (CD95/APO-1) play an important role for the maintenance of tissue homeostasis. Various types of tumor cells have been shown to escape immune recognition by constitutive resistance to CD95-mediated apoptosis. Furthermore, several apoptosis-related
## Abstract ## Background. The p53 protein, a wellβknown tumor suppressor that functions primarily as a transcription factor, initiates cell cycle arrest and apoptosis after genotoxic stress. The antiapoptotic regulator Bclβ2 is a downstream modulator of p53βinduced apoptosis. Loss of function of
## Abstract In doubleβstrand DNA damage repair, nonhomologous end joining (NHEJ) is more errorβprone than homologous recombination repair (HRR), indicating that the relative prevalence of NHEJ may lead to more incorrect repair and thus to increases in chromosome damage. If DNA damage is extensive a
